BOOK MOSSO - HOUSES FROM THE WORLD
“Houses from the world” is a journey to discover diversity and inclusion. To do this we use our favorite means of transport: reading. Thanks to books it is possible to reach all over the world. In an instant you can land on the other side of the ocean, in the middle of the savannah or inside an igloo. You can even get there
moon, on Pluto, up to unexplored places of dreams and stars; and in all these places there is a different house to discover. The one-hour meeting will be hosted by two professional actresses, who have been working in close contact with the world of childhood and reading for years. The purpose of the activity is to introduce children
different cultures and different ways of inhabiting a place, without neglecting explorations of the animal, plant and fantasy kingdoms. From 4 years.

EIGHTY THE CITY THAT RISES
Presentation of Ottanta, a book by Federico Chendi with musical accompaniment. A collection of short stories, the book is a journey through Italy in the 1980s, which focuses on various chapters from "Milan to drink" to "Milan to drink". In short, about the city that if you climb impetuously, perhaps you lose some pieces along the way. What Milan is today, or rather how it is taking shape, is perhaps the fruit of what was sown in
most postmodern and ramshackle decade of the twentieth century.
Reading Around – BookCity all year round will end on Tuesday 26 September with the conference Open city book. 5 theses for the libraries of the future, a reflection on the present and future of public libraries, at the Brera International Centre.
With the patronage of the Municipality 2.
